Ihave a similar question. I recorded a number of calls to my local computer. Then needed to do a factory re-set of my computer. I can still see the recordings listed in my Zoom account, and now get the message that these files can only be shared on the computer they were recorded on.

I'm thinking the re-set confused things. Is there any way to access these files now?


Local recording is available to free and paid subscribers. Local recording allows participants to record meeting video and audio locally to a computer. Local recordings can include participant names, separate audio tracks for each participant, timestamps, and other options. Local recordings capture the meeting as the participant recording sees the meeting, meaning the recording will capture the meeting in speaker view, if that is what video layout is currently in use.


You can upload recorded files to a file storage service such as Dropbox, Google Drive, or a streaming service like YouTube or Vimeo. Local recording files can be found in the default Zoom recording folder on your system.


During a Zoom recording, a participant can Stop or Pause the recording. If a participant stops the recording and starts it again, a new video file will be created for the next recording segment. If a participant pauses the recording and starts it again, Zoom will record to the same video file for the recording segment.


Note: Setting the default location to a cloud syncing folder (such as Dropbox, Google Drive, or One Drive), an external drive, or network storage device may cause issues with saving and converting the local recording. Zoom strongly recommends keeping the default location on a local drive for recordings.


Zoom has two ways to record: Local and to the Cloud. Local recording allows users to record a meeting video and audio to a local computer. Cloud recording allows users to record to Zoom cloud or online storage, and includes options such as audio transcription. Recorded files can be uploaded to other cloud storage or services for sharing, such as Box, Google Drive, YouTube, or Sakai. Zoom cloud recordings can be shared directly via a web link. Please note:


Zoom can also be a simple lecture capture system by running a meeting with only oneself, while sharing the screen as a typical meeting or class. All meeting activity including host voice narration (your voice), and screen sharing will be captured and saved.


When the meeting ends, a Converting meeting recording window indicates processing on the local computer appears. When completed, you can save the files in the default folder or change their location. The files include: the video(s), an audio only version(s) of the meeting and the text of the chat if available.


Zoom was designed to be easy to use. You simply click a link to join a meeting. After entering the meeting room, only a few buttons appear on the screen to control the most important features. One of these buttons -- and one of the most popular features -- is the Recording button. For various reasons, many video callers need to record their meetings and webinars.


Recording a meeting couldn't be easier. You simply click the Recording button at the bottom of your Zoom window. What happens next is a little more complicated. Zoom offers a surprising number of options on how it records meetings, where the meetings are stored and how they can be shared. So, where do Zoom recordings go? When recording a meeting, you can either record on your PC or in the Zoom cloud.


Whether you record on your computer or in the cloud is a personal choice. Recording to the cloud offers many more features since it's done on Zoom servers, which have the direct feed from all participants. Recording to your computer is an option, too, especially if you don't have space on Zoom's cloud or if your company has security policies against hosting company recordings in the cloud.


This opens the folder with your Zoom recording video files on your Windows or Mac desktop. You can change the storage location from the default to another recording folder if you wish. Of course, this step only applies if you're saving recordings to your computer and not to the cloud.


From here, you can view, download, share and delete your cloud recordings. Each of the blue links in the screenshot above is a meeting recording. Depending on your settings, each meeting could contain several files with different views and aspects of the meeting. The share options on this page offer a lot of control, while also enabling easy sharing via a simple link.


This is perhaps the most overlooked part of managing Zoom recordings. The settings are in a different place than the recordings themselves, so many people might not think to check the settings. Take a few minutes to check out the settings because they do provide several powerful and helpful options. To find the settings, follow these steps.


Once at that menu, you can scroll down for several pages of features and options for cloud recording. The screenshot below is just a sampling of what is available. As with the local recording settings, most of the features are either self-explanatory or offer a help pop-up.


As you can see from this segment of the settings menu, Zoom offers many options when recording to the cloud. You can manage what gets recorded and even how it's presented. While this may feel like power-user stuff, it is accessible to anyone recording Zoom meetings. Don't leave this for the experts. If you're recording Zoom meetings, take the time to go through these settings.


Video meeting recording and management of those recordings are important aspects of enterprise collaboration security and privacy. Organizations and their employees should follow company best practices and policies to ensure video recordings are properly managed.


The easiest way to find a Zoom Cloud recording is to check your email. Once a recording has finished uploading, Zoom will send you an email with a direct link to the recording. The message will come to the email associated with your Zoom account.


Step 3: Click Local Recordings. Here you can see the file path to the recording on your computer, but no need to find the recording on your own; clicking Open will take you to it.


When you record a Zoom meeting on your phone, it goes straight to the Zoom Cloud. Local Zoom recording is not currently possible on a mobile device, so phone recordings are always cloud recordings.


Remember that without a Pro, Business, or Enterprise subscription and the Cloud Recording add-on plan, you cannot record to the cloud. That means you can join or host a Zoom meeting on a phone, but you cannot record it.


You can also choose where a Zoom recording will go directly from an active Zoom meeting. When you click Record during a meeting, Zoom will prompt you to choose Record on this computer or Record to the cloud.


You can record Zoom meetings by clicking Record from an active meeting. You can also set all meetings or an individual meeting to auto-record ahead of time through the Zoom app or your online Zoom account.


I am having same problem. I have a Zoom call in progress. Audio is coming in through my computer ok. But Audacity is not recording it. Mix-minus is working correctly. I can hear Zoom caller, but not getting it recorded when I hit record - my voice is only one recording.


One of the best ways to record conferencing software is to use two computers and a little mixer. This is basically how professional studios do it.

You plug your mic into the mixer, and send a feed from the mixer (mic only) to a computer. This computer is used for the conference call. You then send an output from that computer to another channel of the mixer. The main output from the mixer then goes to a second computer that records the mix.


Try explaining Mix-Minus to someone and how you have to shop for your mixer and bag of special audio adapters. Mind-Bleed. Particularly because everybody is looking for the one-button or one-app solution. Press the green button.


But to do that, I need to run from my phone (your second computer) to the mixer. Cable requirements aside, where does my phone enter the mixer? (Where does your Skype computer enter the mixer?) What channel or Aux send do you use?

CURRENT SETUP

mixer to recording computer

my mic into mixer channel 1.

mix-minus - mixer input channel to computer via Sabrent USB-to-3.5 input/3.5 output adapter and back to aux send to complete mix-minus

my phone (second computer) to where? another input channel?


My mixer has two different ways to send audio. The main Line-Out and FX Send. FX Send would normally be used to supply sound to an echo generator or other Special Effects box or device, for example. It has its own output connection. I can individually select which incoming channel goes to FX Send.


Mixer Line-Out goes to the show recorder. Fade up each component of the show as needed just like a regular live production or radio show. Adjust your headphone volume as needed. There can be a production variation. My goal was a finished radio show, so I mixed everything down to final. You can split the stereo show to put you on Left and Zoom Voice on Right and mix down later.


Zoom sessions can be recorded either locally to the user's computer or to the Zoom Cloud. When recording a session locally, multiple video and audio files will be created and placed into a new folder on your computer, which you can use however you want. This article will cover how to access the meeting session recordings that have been saved locally to your computer, and how to upload and share them to the Media Library in a Canvas course.
